Be nicer than Picture Post?

My post in the Art Forum
I can't believe I spent FOUR HOURS doing this on MS Paint.

O_<

First I put Shea, then I did the background, then the lettering, and I know I spent about half an hour doing the lettering on the bottom pixel by pixel gonk

And this is only the green version.

What do you think of my from 12 AM to four AM blood, sweat, and tears? And the occasional dramatic breakdown scene?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, but the reason I attempted this in the first place is I wanted to color it to make it look more anime-like. You know how the artists for animes are totally lazy and, for one sheet of color, use only that base color, a lighter hue for the light patches, and a darker hue for the shadows? They don't really get into the shading because it takes too much time to animate it as well. That was what I was trying to do. D: And it's a CHIBI. D:<


The evolution! D:

It's really good. For some reason I like the small ones better. O.o They look less ... rough?

Looks good. xD Like an anime, heh.
You're right about their lazy shading... I do it too. Might I suggest, though, if you're going to do pixel art, especially on MS Paint, save it not as a JPEG, but as a PNG. It doesn't distort the colours, but is still accepted on most webhosting programs (except SheezyArt gonk )

I knoooooooow. ;o; But my computer is being gay, and WILL NOT LET ME SAVE IT AS A PNG.

>O>

-death-


I think I should darken the shading a but.

And the smaller versions DOES reduce the pixel-ness. D:

Well, I think those four hours were well paid off. It's very well done. :]. I like the big one because you can see the subtle shading of the skin better. I also love the green theme. :B


Keep up the good work. It's much more then I can do in 4 hours. I take about 60 hours for most of my work. haha.

Oh, wow. Totally awesome. Most of my serious MSPaint attempts fail, or I never wish to see again, but my friends like them.
Just goes to show how much my friends know about art. xD

I also like the shoes. I just don't know why. Especially the little jingly bells. And the shading style is very awesome-ful. 3nodding Just like the lazy anime-artists. n_n How see-through-y the scarf is adds a nice effect, too. I love the writing style, by the way. It's teh coolness.

Were the extra-thick lines around the pantses intentional?

Keep up the good work!

I kinda like the pixel-y ness of the large one. I dunno how to say it. I guess I'm just partial to the texture. <3
I like it. The bells, the (purposefully) large and blatent shading, and especially how vibrant the shirt looks. ^^
